The transfiguration

[andy153]

Hi foreal and justme,

You have made my night, 2 brilliant posts.

Lets go deeper, careful reading of the scriptures tells us that only the face or head of Jesus shone, and it "did shine as the sun" (Matthew17:2) His raiment (the rest of his body was white as the light) This means that his head gave glory to his body, or the the body reflected the glory of the head. This is a symbol of Jesus the head of the church giving glory to his body the church. do you see that ?

Hi andy,

I guess that would be fitting as well, however, I just take the whiteness to represent the heavenly or Godly perspective mainly because this is added to Mark 9:
3His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.

Nobody on this planet could launder to this standard so it is the heavenly involvement.

I have no disagreement with your idea.
